Heavenly Bamboo Nandina

I love to garden a lot, but sometimes i get busy with so many different things thats why i prefer plants that does not require a lot of maintenance but gives out a lot of beauty and character to the yard. One of my favorite plant for landscaping is Heavenly Bamboo Nandina because not only is it almost maintenace free, i like its simplicity and works well in different seasons: summer, spring, winter and fall.


At spring time Heavenly Bamboo Nandina produce a mixture of green and copper-tone colors leaves. At summer time,  they have this nice green foliage. Their leaves have slight similarity to a regular bamboo plant leaf characteristic, somewhat pointy and skinny, but there is definitely a difference in the shape because regular bamboo have longer and skinnier leaves.  Heavenly Bamboo Nandina can be planted best in a sunny location for best results in color transformation of the plants.



During fall season, thats when you see the magic happen. Their leaves transform into this vibrant reddish purple tint and instantly add fall colors in your backyard. If you dont have any trees in your yard that transform into different red colors during fall season, you can definitely rely on Heavenly Bamboo Nandina to give you some vibrant fall display. They also produce this deep red wine berries that adds color to the plant.



So next time, if you are thinking of doing landscaping around your yard and you are considering for an easy to maintain or hardly no maintenance plants, think of Heavenly Bamboo Nandina. All it need is an annual pruning, to shape and keep its shape and keep the plant healthy and last for many years. During first planting, you need to water them regularly inorder for their roots to get established, but once its established and become hardy to the surrounding, it will continually give you different shades leaves throughout the year and is drought tolerant so you dont have to water them every single day anymore!
